Tottenham take on Wolves this afternoon looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho’s team reached the Carabao Cup semi-final in midweek but have lost their last two top-flight clashes.

Ahead of today’s game, we looked at how Mourinho could choose to line his team up at Molineux.

In goal and back four

Hugo Lloris is established as the club’s number one goalkeeper, with Joe Hart likely to deputise from the bench again.

Serge Aurier will probably get the nod at right-back with former Wolves player Matt Doherty likely to be a substitute.

Sergio Reguilon has played well since checking in from Real Madrid and he’ll play at left-back.

At the heart of the back four, Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld will look to continue their fine partnership.

Midfield three

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been superb this season and the ex-Southampton player should start here.

The £100,000-a-week player has been superb since signing in the summer and looks a shrewd Mourinho signing.

Alongside him, Tanguy Ndombele has struggled with some fitness issues of late but should return here.

Moussa Sissoko is likely to make up the three-man midfield.

In attack

Two of three-pronged attack pick themselves here, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min picking themselves.

Kane has fired 16 goals so far this season, with Son two behind on 14.

The duo are arguably the most feared partnership in Europe right now and Wolves will certainly have their hands full.

Gareth Bale scored in midweek but will probably be back on the bench today.

Dutchman Steven Bergwijn could into the team having been an unused substitute against Leicester last week.

Here is how Tottenham might line-up:
